I also like to like photos and paintwork, who helps me to succeed, I also like to do it for him.

The Unimog is the quicker of the 2 Trucks (with a good tune of course) but if you’re going with it absolutely use sim steering, even if like me you don’t normally, it stops it potentially turning over under hard cornering, thanks to @ziperrPL for telling me about that ages ago.

Tankpool is…okay but has no tire compound options, can’t reach the full 800 and has a much lower top speed so is slow on the opening section of Reservorio, and the last thing you want to be doing in this Trial is having to navigate through traffic on tighter sections, both human + AI.

Don’t know the 3rd race but the 2nd is Sierra Verde, go and do the lottery if that 1st corner isn’t a total mess in your Trial.

del

why I’m already bought the ultimate car pack on Steam but I need to buy the new DLC?

Looking at the wording in game - the new pack is included in the ultimate pack. Should be free for you.

Sim steering tip was so helpful, thanks (both). Would this have been of use at the beginning of April for the Bel Air in (Autumn S45)?

I’m not sure as that’s the first time I’ve ever changed to sim steering myself, when I was testing the Unimog I was able to tune it out a little on normal steering but it still ended up happening further up Reservorio anyway, so I resorted to that and it worked.

As someone who enabled sim steering at the very start of the game, what’s the actual difference between the different steering modes?

normal steering has a built in correction, a sort of bounce back, sim steering doesn’t. it tends to be more oversteery and also more predictable. mostly I recommend it because lots of tuners use it, and their tunes might feel a touch understeery on normal steering
